Keep Up the Pressure, It’s Working
Written by Sam on May 21st, 2007Senate leaders agreed Monday that they would wait until June to take final action on a bipartisan plan to give millions of unlawful immigrants legal status.
The measure, which also tightens border security and workplace enforcement measures, unites a group of influential liberals, centrists and conservatives and has White House backing, but it has drawn criticism from across the political spectrum. In a nod to that opposition, Senate leaders won’t seek to complete it before a hoped-for Memorial Day deadline.
Honestly, this bill was just farcical. The amount of bureaucracy and expanded government that would go into this doesn’t help anyone in the long run.
Keep up the pressure. Call your two Senators and your Congressman if you haven’t already done so. Amnesty by any other name is still amnesty all the same.

I have emailed my Senators.

I’m not sure what else we can all do…I’ve e-mailed Feinstein in my state which is pretty much useless as she’s as far-left as they get (didn’t even bother with Boxer as last time I e-mailed her office about my opposition to amnesty I got a letter thanking me for supporting expanding a ban on off-shore drilling….).
I e-mailed 9 other Senators from other states including Kyl and Graham. I think this is going to come down to three Senators…the Georgia two (Chambliss and Isakison) and Ben Nelson of Nebraska. If those three can be switched, there is a good chance to stop this monstrosity.
